I am currently at 12 weeks and have been experiencing light but constant brown spotting. I have 3 children and never had this happen in previous pregnancies. Anybody know about what may cause this. I am not in pain.

Hello. My first post on this board. I am 12 weeks tomorrow and I went to A&E on Friday. Initially there was red blood and then it turned brown which I have been pa__sing for 5 days now. I've had a miscarriage before and thought it had happened again. Had a scan yesterday and there was a strong heartbeat. When I asked why I was bleeding they said they couldn't really give me a reason-it could be a blood clot pa__sing where the placenta has pulled away slightly at one end or it could be a fibriod bleeding? They just said if it doesn't stop i'n 7-10 days then go back to EPU. I'm so worried but I don't think that will help me. But as you can see, you aren't alone. I think we have go try and stay positive and believe that it is ok and fairly common.
